Sec 30, 31 are PL Ok.
Sec 32 PL notes:
27:30 "лижа безумно мокрые пальцы" - воспринимается как "безумно мокрые". Предлагаю разделить эти два слова паузой.
Sec 33 is PL Ok.

Very well acted, but the "plot" is beyond my understanding and makes me shiver. Наверно, мой учитель любил Зинаиду Николаевну не за это произведение

Do you want me to read Sec 0? I may do it, but is it ok for a solo project?

I'm okay with that, and I have seen projects where something of the sort was done.
Tricia, would you mind if we switch roles for the intro, Hanna would read, and I would PL?

[TriciaG]

You can do it, but I'm not sure if we'd then classify this as a group project or a solo.

Is it an introduction or preface? Or is it part of the main text, just from a female perspective?

Hi Tricia,
It's a foreword (the title says "to the readers"). It's written from the female author, her own voice, that's why Hanna kindly suggested a female voice.
I don't mind if you call it a group project (though I used the solo-style intro).
Here is one of the exceptions: the soloist reads Sec.9 in this project: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=94587 together with his girlfriend.

Which I see absolutely no notice or indication of in the thread. I'll let the MC know.

I'll run this by the other MCs to see what they think about cataloging it as a group or solo. I think the main question is, will listeners be disappointed if they hear a different voice for the one section, when they think it's a solo?

No problem on reading the solo intros.

Oh, she knows, it was talked about

Hi Tricia! What did the other MCs say?

Generally, that projects with more than one reader are a group project, and there are a lot of projects with an "author note" like this read by the soloist, even though the author is of the other gender.

I would prefer to catalog it as a group, but if insisted on, I could catalog it as a solo with a note in the description saying that the introductory note is read by another person, to kinda warn the potential reader of the anomaly.

[HannaPonomarenko]

Thank you Tricia. So Mark should you read it or should I? I'm sure you may do well keeping in mind my notes.

[chulsky]

...Mark should you read it or should I? I'm sure you may do well keeping in mind my notes.

Hi Tricia, thank you. I'd prefer to keep it solo, not out of vanity, but because my Russian-speaking audience knows to look for my solo projects to separate them from my collaborations in English

Hanna, my question remains: "Would you like it?"
Would you enjoy it? Your answer would be the verdict

[HannaPonomarenko]

Yes, I think it's fun)

[TriciaG]

Okay, then, I'll need text for the catalog page that says something like, "The author's note to readers was recorded by HannaPonomarenko." If you want to say more, like, "since the writer is a female" you may. (This will still show on the catalog page, but it's good to have it in the catalog description as well.)
